Lock and unlock content
As an administrator, we are able to restrict the tasks that can be done with the contents of a container: We can prevent portal users from modifying the content of a container on a static page. If we lock the content of a container on a page, then a portlet cannot be added to containinger, or moved into or out of containinger.
When a container is locked, it cannot be removed from the page. As an administrator, we are able to restrict the following tasks that can be done with the contents of a container.
- Add portlets to the container
- Remove portlets from the container
- Move portlets inside of the container into other containers
- Add subcontainers (columns or rows) to the container
- Remove subcontainers (columns or rows) from the container
- Modify portlet positions within the container
- Modify subcontainer positions within the container
- Set the width for the container
Lock and unlock content
- Click...
Administration | Portal User Interface | Manage Pages | Edit Page Layout icon (small pencil) | Locks
- To lock the content of the container, click the lock icon.
The icon shows a closed lock when the content of the container is locked, and an open lock when it is unlocked. Clicking the icon toggles back and forth between locked and unlocked.
- Click Done to save the changes to the page.
We can verify the content of a container is locked by clicking the Content tab. If the content of a container box is locked, then it does not display an Add portlet button or any directional arrows.
